  10/24/21 - Junior Bergen, Sr/2025, Montana, 5-10, 184 (DS#53 WR) + More +

  Junior Bergen had a pair of touchdown runs to help Montana beat Idaho 34-14 on Saturday night. Bergen's 10-yard touchdown run tied the game 7-7 late in the first quarter, and his 19-yarder capped the scoring for Montana (5-2, 2-2 Big Sky Conference) with 11:05 remaining. Bergen finished with 18 carries for 77 yards. The Grizzlies' Kris Brown threw for 256 yards that included a 6-yard TD pass to Cole Grossman in the second quarter. Brown added a 3-yard TD run in the third. Gevani McCoy had 123 yards passing and a touchdown and two interceptions for Idaho (2-5, 1-3). The Vandals took an early lead on Aundre Carter's 2-yard touchdown run but didn't score again until McCoy's 14-yard TD pass to Mekhi Stevenson with 1:11 remaining. - AP College Football

  10/15/21 - Lucas Johnson, rSr/2023, Montana, 6-2, 223 (DS#999 QB) + More +

  San Diego State needed a spark on offense and Lucas Johnson delivered. Johnson threw TD passes to Jesse Matthews in both overtime periods for his only completions of the game as No. 24 San Diego State finally got going offensively after a rough regulation and beat San Jose State 19-13 Friday night. Johnson relieved an ineffective and banged-up Jordon Brookshire in the fourth quarter and came through in overtime after a few shaky moments in regulation. "We just thought we were a little stagnant and we needed to do something different," coach Brady Hoke said. Neither team scored a touchdown in regulation before Johnson delivered a 14-yard pass on the opening possession of overtime for the Aztecs (6-0, 2-0 Mountain West).

Tyler Nevens answered with a 1-yard run for the Spartans (3-4, 1-2). But Trenton Thompson intercepted Nick Nash to start the second overtime to set the stage for Johnson and Matthews. "We’ve never been in a game like that before," Thompson said. "It was a crazy one for us." That set the stage for Johnson and Matthews to end it with a 24-yard pass on third down against man coverage to help San Diego State improve to 6-0 for the second time in 46 years. "I love that matchup all day," Johnson said. "He went up and made a spectacular play two times. I give a lot of props to him." The game was an offensive slog with the teams combining for 14 punts, four field goals, one fumble, one missed field goal and a turnover on downs without scoring a touchdown in regulation. - San Diego State/AP College Football

  09/25/21 - Cam Humphrey, rSr/2022, Montana, 6-2, 209 (DS#45 QB) + More +

  Cam Humphrey threw for two touchdowns, special teams added a pair of scores and the Montana defense contributed one as the Grizzlies rolled to a 39-7 win over Cal Poly on Saturday. Humphrey kicked off the scoring with a 65-yard hookup with Samuel Akem midway through the first quarter. Two snaps later, defensive end Justin Belknap dropped back in coverage and picked off Conor Bruce, returning the interception 24 yards. Leading 18-0 at halftime, Kevin Macias returned the second half kickoff 95 yards. After Humphrey's connection with Joey Elwell, Levi Janacaro blocked a punt and then recovered the loose ball in the end zone. Montana (2-0, 1-0 Big Sky Conference) had 354 yards of offense, eight less than the Mustangs but the Grizzly defense forced two turnovers and had 14 tackles for loss, including four sacks. Cal Poly (1-3) got a 2-yard rushing touchdown from Shakobe Harper early in the fourth, the first score the Grizzly defense allowed in 36 drives. In his second stint at Montana, Bobby Hauck got his 101st win in the Grizzlies' 101st homecoming game. - AP College Football

  09/19/21 - Lucas Johnson, rSr/2023, Montana, 6-2, 223 (DS#999 QB) + More +

  By the time San Diego State dialed up a successful Philly Special on its final 2-point conversion attempt, it wasn't even the craziest part of the Aztecs' triple-overtime thriller with Utah. And after one last video review went their way, the Aztecs could celebrate another win over a Pac-12 foe. Quarterback Lucas Johnson caught a 2-point conversion pass from Jesse Matthews in triple overtime, and San Diego State blew a 14-point lead in the final minutes of regulation before hanging on for a 33-31 victory over the Utes on Saturday night. "It was exciting," Aztecs coach Brady Hoke said. "I'm not going to deny that." Johnson scored easily on a picture-perfect Philly Special after both teams' kickers missed field goal attempts in double overtime.

Moments later, the Aztecs (3-0) collectively ran across the field in a frenzy when officials reversed their call of a 2-point conversion catch by Utah's Connor O'Toole, ruling the ball hit the turf. "I still can't believe it," Aztecs defensive lineman Cameron Thomas said. "When it was official, I was so excited. I don't even know what was going through my mind. I'm excited to keep this season rolling." Greg Bell rushed for 119 yards and two touchdowns and Jordan Byrd returned a kickoff 100 yards for a TD, but the Aztecs passed for only 44 yards and nearly gave away their second straight victory over a Pac-12 opponent after beating Arizona last week. - San Diego State/AP College Football

  09/12/21 - Cam Humphrey, rSr/2022, Montana, 6-2, 209 (DS#45 QB) + More +

  Camron Humphrey threw a career-high five touchdown passes to lead Montana to a 42-7 rout of Western Illinois on Saturday night. Humphrey was 20-of-26 passing for 252 yards. He threw a dart to Malik Flowers at the 2 for a 39-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Flowers got behind a defender in the end zone for a 28-yard catch that capped the scoring with 14:22 remaining. Flowers finished with 100 yards receiving on three catches.

Mitch Roberts and Samuel Akem also each had a touchdown reception for Montana (2-0). It was also the 100th win for coach Bobby Hauck at Montana, which upset then-No. 20 Washington in Seattle last week. Michael Lawson had two interceptions for Western Illinois (0-2), the first a 75-yard return for a touchdown late in the second quarter. The Leathernecks were held to just 133 yards of offense compared to 448 by Montana. Attendance was 25,238 at sold-out Washington-Grizzly Stadium. - Montana/AP College Football

  A couple of weeks before the season started, Montana coach Bobby Hauck met with university president Seth Bodnar. His message was clear: The Grizzlies were going to be really good and even might take down Washington in the opener. Yes, that Washington. The one from the Pac-12 and expected to challenge for a conference title. "He asked me how I thought we'd do and I told him we'd win," Hauck said. Shockingly, Hauck turned out to be right.

Montana became the first FCS team to upset a ranked FBS team in five years, stunning No. 20 Washington 13-7 on Saturday night. The Grizzlies were the better of their Pac-12 foe, pulling off arguably the biggest victory in school history outside of winning two FCS national titles. Montana is the first FCS team to beat a ranked FBS team since North Dakota State won at No. 13 Iowa 23-21 early in the 2016 season, and the fifth time it has happened since Appalachian State's famous upset of No. 5 Michigan in 2007. It was Montana's second victory over Washington, the last coming in 1920. "This is the Washington Huskies. OK. This is App State over Michigan," said Hauck, a one-time assistant at Washington. Montana quarterback Cam Humphrey scored on a 4-yard run early in the fourth quarter, and the Grizzlies added a short field goal with 2:54 left to take a six-point lead. Needing a touchdown to avoid the upset, Washington came up empty on its final two possessions. Dylan Morris was incomplete on fourth-and-2 with 1:33 left giving the ball back to the Grizzlies. - Montana/AP College Football

  05/09/21 - Lucas Johnson, rSr/2023, Montana, 6-2, 223 (DS#999 QB) + More +

  San Diego State's search for a starting quarterback was the biggest story line coming into spring practice. So what did 15 workouts over five weeks do to decide the matter? Pretty much nothing. The QB search will once again be the primary focus when the Aztecs reconvene for fall camp in August, perhaps extending until game week for the 2021 season opener against New Mexico State. SDSU's post-spring depth chart lists the No.1 quarterback as Lucas Johnson OR Jordon Brookshire OR Jalen Mayden. SDSU head coach Brady Hoke and offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Jeff Hecklinski regularly note progress among the quarterbacks as the spring progressed, although none of the QBs was particularly impressive during SDSU's Spring Game.

Johnson (5-for-14, 88 yards) threw the game's only touchdown pass, a 72-yard completion to Ethan Dedeaux. That means Johnson amassed only 16 yards through the air during the other eight series in which he was involved. Brookshire (4-for-11, 55 yards) and Mayden (5-for-12, 83 yards) had similar struggles. This isn't going to get it done in an era when several quarterbacks now are completing better than 70 percent of their passes (nine FBS quarterbacks in 2020) and dozens (31) are better than 65 percent. - San Diego Union Tribune
